This is the second label of Chateau Quintus - the right bank estate from the owners of Haut Brion. It was created from the purchase of Saint Emilion Chateaux L'Arrosee, Tertre Daugay and more recently Grand Pontet.
The 2023 is made from 72% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc in 25% new oak. 14.1 degrees.
The 2023 Dragon de Quintus is a real success this year, revealing aromas of cassis, mulberries, dark wild berries and flowers. Moderately weighted and elegant, the wine on the palate is fleshy, round and seamless with a structuring, long finish. This is a blend of 71.6% Merlot and 28.4% Cabernet Franc.
Cedar, tobacco and currant aromas and flavors. Medium body with fine, integrated tannins and a long finish. Lovely acidity to this. Citrus at the end. 71.6% merlot and 28.4% cabernet franc.
Intense depth and character but with freshness, floral character, clear salinity, sappy tannins that are not entirely resolved, but there is good spice and impressive lift. Includes Merlot from the north facing vineyards, and this is sculpted and precise, juicy finish. Director Mariette Veyssiere.
